Russia launched a devastating wave of missile strikes on Kyiv and Mykolaiv after Ukraine unleashed drone attacks across Russian military and industrial hubs. Explosions rocked both nations in an explosive twoâday escalation, including a drone strike that shut down the crucial Central AsiaâCenter gas pipeline in Volgogradâvital for Russiaâs military energy needs. Ukraine targeted facilities like the Elektropribor plant in Penza and a Shahed-drone airbase in Primorsko-Akhtarsk. Moscow scrambled quickly, intercepting 112 Ukrainian drones and responding with 53 of its own. The retaliation struck civilian zones, reducing homes in Mykolaiv to rubble and seriously wounding several. This sharp escalation follows a Russian drone assault on Kyiv that killed 31 people just hours earlier. With energy infrastructure crippled and cities ablaze, the tit-for-tat violence underscores how the Ukraine war threatens to spiral across bordersâbringing military escalation and civilian suffering to new heights.

Ukraine unleashed a sweeping overnight drone offensive that struck deep inside Russian territory, killing at least three and igniting fires at key military and energy infrastructure sites. The strikes, claimed by Ukraineâs Unmanned Systems Forces and intelligence agency SBU, highlight Kyivâs expanding long-range drone warfare capabilities.
High-value targets included the Ryazan oil refinery near Moscow, the Annanefteprodukt oil facility in Voronezh, and the Primorsko-Akhtarsk military airfieldâallegedly used to launch Iranian-made Shahed drones. In Penza, the Elektropribor electronics plant was hit, killing a woman and injuring two others. Fires and structural damage were also reported in Samara and Rostov, where casualties included an elderly man and a security guard. Russiaâs defense ministry said 112 drones were intercepted during the 9-hour attack, but several breached air defenses. As Ukraine leans on asymmetric warfare, its drone campaign signals a bold shift in strategyâaimed at crippling Russia's war machine beyond the frontlines.

Tensions between Washington and Moscow are spiraling after U.S. President Donald Trump ordered the deployment of two nuclear submarines near Russian waters in response to Dmitry Medvedevâs chilling âdead handâ threat. The move has fueled fears of World War 3, despite experts calling it âposturing.â A viral video claiming Russian Borei-class submarines armed with Bulava missiles are stationed off the U.S. coast has added to the panic, though fact-checkers confirmed the footage is from 2018. Trump defended his decision on Truth Social, warning that âwords are important and can have unintended consequences.â Analysts suggest the deployment signals strength but does not escalate nuclear confrontation. The standoff comes as Trump grows increasingly frustrated with Vladimir Putinâs refusal to negotiate a Ukraine ceasefire, with both nations engaging in nuclear saber-rattling unseen since the Cold War.

A war of words has erupted between Donald Trump and Dmitry Medvedev after the former Russian president issued a veiled threat warning Trump against issuing ultimatums to Moscow. Medvedev, in a social media post, said each ultimatum brings the world closer to warâ"not between Russia and Ukraine, but with your own country." Trump responded with fury, calling Medvedev a "failed former President" and warning him to "watch his words" or face consequences. The U.S. President also slammed India over trade tariffs, saying their economy and Russiaâs were âdeadâ and would âsink together.â Trump had recently warned Russia of new sanctions if it didnât agree to a ceasefire within 12 days. The Kremlin said it had âtaken noteâ of Trumpâs latest demands. With tensions mounting, the episode highlights rising geopolitical friction and personal animosity at the top levels of power.

Russia has issued a sharp warning to Bulgaria after the Bulgarian Parliament labeled Moscow a âstate sponsor of terrorismâ and seized Russian property. The Kremlin condemned the move as a product of EU-driven Russophobia, calling it a provocation that âwonât go unanswered.â With NATO backing Bulgaria and tensions rising in the Black Sea, fears of escalation grow. Though a full-blown conflict is unlikely, hybrid threats remain. Russia's fleet still holds Kalibr missile power, while Bulgaria, backed by NATO, braces for any threat near its modernizing navy.

Outspoken Republican lawmaker Marjorie Taylor Greene has condemned U.S. funding for the Ukraine war, calling it a âcomplete betrayalâ of American taxpayers. Referring to Trumpâs 2024 victory, Greene argued that voters had rejected foreign wars, yet Washington continues to finance conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza. She accused Democratsâand some neocon Republicansâof pushing an âAmerica LASTâ agenda while warning that such policies will alienate younger voters permanently.
Greene even called Israelâs Gaza offensive a âgenocide,â highlighting deep fractures within Trumpâs GOP. Despite campaign promises to end the war, Trump recently approved additional military support for Kiev, including Patriot missile systems. The debate exposes growing discontent among Republican ranks about endless foreign interventions and unchecked military spending. Meanwhile, Ukrainian officials praised Trumpâs support, calling it a vital deterrent against Russian advances. Greene warned that ignoring these political alarm bells could prove disastrous for U.S. unity and voter trust.
